Just to be around this great group of people, I have grown up a lot, thought things out and have prayed about it. I have come to the conclusion that I am not finished yet. There are a lot of things I want to accomplish not only as a player but as a person.

It feels real good. To beat Duke, they're a great team. That just shows a lot about our team.

He's a great player. He's an All-American. I am trying not to get too excited because a guy like me who is kind of low on the radar, is licking his chops right now because this is an opportunity to show the world that you can play.

I'm just so proud of us, the chemistry that we have. To beat Duke, they're a great team. And that just shows a lot about our team, and what kind of character we have. It feels good, but now it's over. Now it's another task at hand.
call felt great opportunity shooting shot thinking time
It's called thinking without thinking. That's what I call it. The opportunity was there to make the shot. Most of the time when I'm shooting or when I'm shooting threes, I'm thinking about it too much. So I just was in rhythm, and I felt that it was a great shot and I made it.
bad ball double falling great shots team took
They did a great job. When I put the ball on the court, they would double team me. I wasn't getting any calls, my shots were not falling and I took some bad shots.
affect altered best competitor decision environment feeling final four game great grew guy last leave losing mouth people playing road shared taste team terrible winning
The road to the Final Four was a great experience, and I grew up tremendously experiencing that environment and the people I met. As a team we shared the feeling of being there, and playing that last game was a terrible taste in your mouth that you would never forget. Losing like that in that way is going to affect you, and me being the guy that I am - a competitor - you always want to leave out on top. That altered my decision a lot. Because not only do I want to be the best player, but I also want to win. Being there and not winning was a disappointment, and that made me want to come to back.
analyzing communication learned negative straight
I was analyzing the guys' nonverbal communication. I learned that in sociology. When I see that, when I see fatigue, some negative things, you've got to go straight at them.
determination
I think it was the will. The will and determination that I had that I wanted to win.
